i remember i wanted to play like this to re-order my garrisons in depots and
cities. i checked how russia has played it, exactly as Makis writes, and did it
only during reinforcements phase. to be honest it helped more to lessen te mess
of prussian garrisons in minor areas depots. not big deal in the game, i
suppose. nevertheless i agree to keep on playing it the proper way, while
personaly i don't mind if we were keeping it as a house rule

You are correct, the rules do not state that there can be a garrison transfer
from city to depot, only the opposite.
However, it is not clear to me what facilitates the transfer from the depot to
the city that prevents it from transferring the other way?
If you want to play it by the rules then we are not allowed to do it, but for a
house rule i vote that this is feasible to be performed only in the
reinforcement phase.

I admit I did not play attention much tot he fine details of land movements, I
guess I remain focused on naval for too long, playing Britain and all.
I have always played as what Makis describes as "proper" way, there has to be a
corps involved to facilitate the troop movement from city into depot.
I do not mind playing the other way but would still prefer the original. My
line of thought is - corps remains a very important piece of the game and no
random depot garrison appearing all over the place.
My vote goes for "proper".

The simple answer to the Sultnan's question is NO. Garrisons do not move, not
even within the same territory, unless there is a corps in the area, or unless
they just destroyed a depot. (By reinforcement phase I guess Tiron means
"newly" placed garrison, not existing)
BUT, this is how we played it all along.
I remembered i noticed it sometime during a Russian move, when a depot was
placed and he transfered a garrison from the city on the depot. Was about to
write that this is not possible, but checking the allied turn, I noticed
Austria or Prussia doing similarly. Going back a bit I realised this is how we
played it, and therefore refrained to mention it at that time, as we were in
the middle of the "invade Russia campaign" and - don't know - it could affect
one or another middle war, when both sides were happy playing it like that.
When the war ended I forgot it and I guess it stayed like that.
So how should we play it ? Proper play is that lone garrisons do not move,
UNLESS they are from a depot to a city. Not the other way round. But we have
done it differently for as long as I noticed.
I am in favour of "proper" play but would not really mind to play it out as we
started it (as a house rule). Please vote.
